Due to the remake of 5 classic movies, a great director lost 140 million yuan in remaking his own movie.

In recent years, with the improvement of the production level of Chinese film and television dramas and the gradual expansion of the film market, domestic original films have been unable to meet the needs of the market, so remake classics has become a hot spot nowadays. Although a lot of money was invested in the remake, the word-of-mouth and box office after the movie was released were not satisfactory. Today, I will check out a few remakes that ruin the classics.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" vs. "A Chinese Ghost Story"

"A Chinese Ghost Story" starring Leslie Cheung and Joey Wang in 1987 is still one of the classic films in Hong Kong movie history. In 2011, Louis Koo and Liu Yifei performed the new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story", but after the movie was released, there were many slots and the Douban score was only 4.1 points.

"A Chinese Journey to the West" vs "A Chinese Journey to the West 3"

Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Journey to the West" is a classic in the hearts of Chinese people all over the world. The audience was very satisfied, but the thoughts were far lost to the previous work, and the audience called for the destruction of the classics.

"Blood Labyrinth" vs "Three Shots Surprise"

"Blood Labyrinth" is a very good suspense thriller film, but after being introduced by Zhang Yimou into the "Three Shots Surprise", although Zhang Yimou's creation has improved Many Chinese characteristics, but the reputation is not satisfactory.
